5-2.3 Insulated Tools
When performing work at locations where high voltage is applied (such as terminals), use insulated tools
meeting 1,000V/300A specifications.
5-3 Removing the Service Plug
• Do not remove the service plug without wearing appropriate PPE to help protect
the responder from serious injury or death by electrical shock.
• Immediately cover the service plug socket with insulated tape. The Li-ion battery
retains high voltage power even when the service plug is removed. To avoid electric
shock, DO NOT touch the terminals inside the socket.
To avoid unintended installation and risk of electrical shock and severe personal injury
or death, the service plug should be securely stored away from the vehicle while the vehicle
is in storage.
1. Check the READY indicator status. If it is ON, the high voltage system is active.
2. Place the selector lever in the Park (P) position.
3. Press the power switch once to turn OFF the high
voltage system. Then verify whether the READY
indicator is OFF.
4. Locate the carpet flap (1) behind the center console on
the floor raised area. At the notched area (A) pull up on
the carpet flap (1).
